Introspection

My father, Frank Rampolla (1931-1971), was a prominent figurative expressionist oil painter in the transformative 1960s. His art delved into the complexities of the human condition, emphasizing themes like individual dignity, the impact of war, loneliness, and the quest for profound faith.

Central to his work was the portrayal of human disconnection, even in depictions of multiple figures, conveying an underlying sense of isolation.

Inspired by his legacy, I explore the prevalent lack of emotional connection in today's world. Despite technological advancements, many experience profound isolation, contributing to societal unease. This collection aims to evoke the universal experience of loneliness, prompting viewers to reflect on their own connections and the depth of human interaction.
